Study: MOOCs Viewed Positively by Employers for Hiring, Training

Newswise — RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Many employers are still unfamiliar with massive open online courses, called MOOCs, but once they learned about them, they generally viewed them positively for recruiting, hiring and training employees, according to a new study by researchers at Duke University and RTI International.
The study, funded by the Gates Foundation, is the first to evaluate employers’ knowledge, experience and attitudes toward MOOCs. MOOCs are free online courses with unlimited participation offered through the internet.
